Using Optical Discs - HP Tx2-1370us - TouchSmart - Turion X2 Ultra 2.3 GHz User Manual

Using optical discs

An optical drive, such as a DVD-ROM drive, supports optical discs (CDs, DVDs, and BDs). These discs
store information, such as music, photos, and movies. DVDs and BDs have a higher storage capacity
than CDs.
Your optical drive can read standard CD and DVD discs. If your optical drive is a BD drive, it can also
read BDs.
NOTE: Some of the optical drives listed may not be supported by your computer. The listed drives are
not necessarily all of the supported optical drives.
Some optical drives can also write to optical discs as described in the following table.
